Coming in 2020

In July of 2012, UAT implanted the worlds first fully ceramic permanent interphalangeal implant in to a patient. Five years later the implant remains intact, uncompromised with the patient having improved painfree mobility of the digit. UAT intends to proceed with a FDA 510(k) approval process in the first quarter of 2018 with the anticipation of the product being approved and in the market place by 2020.

Permanent and does not need to be replaced every 3-5 years like competitors.

Bone will grow on to surface making implant a more cohesive part of your body.
